Abstract

A variable displacement refrigerant compressor of the variable angle wobble or swash plate type is disclosed. The compressor according to the invention has a displacement control valve which is operable in response to the evaporator pressure so as to restrict the drop thereof by throttling the refrigerant gas flowing through a control port disposed between the evaporator and suction chamber. Crankcase of the compressor is arranged for direct communication with the evaporator so as to keep the crankcase under a pressure which is substantially the same as the evaporator pressure.
